SILVER SPRING, Md., March 27 -- While most people know Bindi Irwin as The Crocodile Hunter's irrepressible daughter, those closest to her know that she deeply believed in her father's mission to protect wildlife. So in early 2006, Bindi and Steve Irwin began filming BINDI: THE JUNGLE GIRL to help get more children interested in wildlife conservation. Despite Steve's untimely death later that year, Bindi and her mom Terri, with the support of their family, friends and staff at Australia Zoo, decided to carry on Steve's legacy and finish filming the series.
Discovery Kids Channel has now announced that BINDI: THE JUNGLE GIRL premieres Saturday, June 9, at 5 PM ET/PT as a weekly series.
In BINDI: THE JUNGLE GIRL, Bindi introduces viewers to the wonderful world of wildlife from her cozy treehouse set high up in the rainforest. While interacting with a wide variety of animals from koalas to elephants to snakes, Bindi explains how all animals -- both cute and not-so-cute -- need to be respected and protected.
In addition, the night before Bindi's new series premieres on Discovery Kids Channel, Animal Planet presents MY DADDY THE CROC HUNTER, in which Bindi, with her mom's help, hosts her very first special and shares her personal look at growing up with her famous dad, The Crocodile Hunter. |GlobalGiants.com|
